“A couple days later, on March 6, I was working from home at around 11:30 when I got a notice that my VPN had gone down,” he says. “I didn’t think much about it. It can cut out from time to time. About 10 minutes later, I got a knock at the door.” Two men were outside Jackson’s door, dressed in slacks and polos. They were not wearing badges. “I first thought they were going to try to sell me something. But as soon as I opened the door they said, ‘Are you Clayton Jackson?’ I think I shook my head or said ‘yeah,’ and then I heard, ‘We have information that you are obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation.’” Jackson says alarms went off in his head. “My first instinct was to want to know what this was about. That it must be a misunderstanding. So I started to tell them about how I’ve been involved in some pro bono work. Then this voice in my head kicked in and just said, you need to shut the fuck up — don’t say anything.” The officers never identified themselves. They did ask if they could come inside. “I said absolutely not,” Jackson says. “I asked for their names and badge numbers. They said they didn’t have to provide that information at this time. So I told them I’d be calling my lawyer and I shut the door behind me.” Jackson says his mind started racing. “I needed to know who they were, what agency they were with. Then I remembered that I have the Ring camera. Maybe I could watch the video of the incident and figure out who they were from that.” There was no video. “That’s when I learned why my VPN had gone down. It wasn’t the VPN. Someone had shut off my Wifi.” About 15 minutes after the interaction at his front door, Jackson’s Wifi was up and running again.
It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.
Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Photo explaining the last three times in history that tariffs were raised significantly, we had a depression. Including the great depression from 1930s.
For security reasons we don’t post on TikTok or Meta platforms. But we applaud everyone speaking out. These cuts hurt all Americans.
I grew up in a family where everyone loved the USA. Including myself.And now I despise, distrust and abhor the USA. I have not changed. The USA has. Unfortunately.
A post today from a friend in Denmark. 💔
It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.
It is utterly disgraceful that, more than 24 hours after hearing of 4 dead U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, trump still has made NO public statement about it.
We know how he feels about his painting in Colorado, but not about 4 U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"We believe this executive order is a threat to the religious pluralism enshrined in the Constitution and does not actually protect Christians. Instead, this order aligns the federal government with ... a dangerous conflation of fundamentalist Christianity..."

I’ve seen these ghouls up close musk is a LIAR - fucking with people social security checks - which keep people alive -
Nazi ghoul
I always enjoy your art. ❤️
We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.
Robin, the harbinger of spring, enjoys our birdbath tremendously!
Breaking: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer seen laying on the Senate floor in the submissive position of exposing his underbelly.
Fuck off you coward. " If we don't let them bully us now, they'll bully us worse later" is not a hero's stance.
My two cats, Vincent and Elinor, laying across my legs fast asleep.
Halp. Can't move legs.
Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.
I hear you're caving to the Trump agenda, Chuck. If this is true, I've lost all respect for you.
He better NOT
We are now locking innocent people without charge or representation like any fascist dictatorship. American democracy and human rights are no more.
